   Ms. Tonija Hope Navas Program Officer, International Exchange Programs
   
   Tonija Hope Navas joined the Phelps Stokes Fund in June 2006 after a decade working in the restaurant industry. One of Ms. Navas' many passions is facilitating exposure to international arenas and exchange opportunities for youth with limited resources. The Fund's focus on international exposure for underserved populations was of particular interest to Ms. Navas as was the Fund's work in Liberia, because her mother is Liberian.
   
   Ms. Navas has a variety of experience working with the State Department's International Visitor Leadership Program through internships at both the Minnesota International Center and the Institute of International Education's Professional Exchange Programs Division.
   
   Ms. Navas' heart has always been in the field of international understanding and education and she has visited many parts of the world including Sweden, Finland, France, Spain, England, Guatemala, Bahamas, Argentina, Uruguay, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Brazil and Jamaica. She loves dancing and listening to salsa, playing and watching soccer, photography, reading, and dining out. Fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, she hopes to one day add French and Italian to that list. She earned a B.A. in Spanish/Latin American Literature and Latin American Studies from Macalester College in St. Paul, MN in 1997 and a master's degree in Tourism Administration with a concentration in International Education from George Washington University in 2003.
